1. (SBU) Post received a diplomatic note from the Kyrgyz MFA
January 14 seeking an agreement of reciprocal support,
whereby Kyrgyzstan would support Pierre-Richard Prosper for
the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
"on the understanding that the Government of the United
States of America will lend its valuable support to the
candidature of the Kyrgyz Republic to the United Nations'
Human Rights Council for the term 2009-2012."
2. (SBU) Poloff informed MFA International Organizations and
Security Affairs' Deputy Director Nuran Niyazaliyev that, as
a rule, the U.S. does not reveal how it will vote in UN
elections, nor does it engage in vote swaps. However, Poloff
said he would convey the Kyrgyz request for support in the
2009 Human Rights Council election. Niyazaliyev said that
our response would be relayed promptly to Kyrgyzstan's UN
mission.
